Silverymoon was often dubbed "the Gem of the North", for it resembled and emulated the (formerly) lost elven city of Myth Drannor in many respects. It was one of the few civilized places in the middle of the rough and untamed wilderness that was the North of Faerûn. It had a rich cultural life and was renowned as a meeting place for all races that were morally inclined towards good. Even the occasional drow with good intentions could eventually find hospitality in the city of Silverymoon. Silverymoon was also famous for its pervading tradition of magic, and was home to many notable wizards, sorcerers and other mages. One of its permanent structures, the Moonbridge, was created by magic. The city is also a beacon of knowledge in the north, with facilities rivaling that of Candlekeep. Here you can find information on almost any subject, either written down or spoken. No information comes free, however, and only individuals proving the dedication to learning will be permitted to learn all of Silverymoon's secrets.
